The president of Nigeria at the moment, Muhamadu Buhari, has acknowledged that he is the envy of presidents everywhere because of what he has accomplished with the private sector.
He claims that this is the result of his administration’s use of private sector assistance to address societal problems in the nation.
On February 22, he made that assertion while speaking at the commissioning and delivery of security equipment worth more than N12 billion to the Nigerian Police Force and military.
“Today is indeed a very happy day for all Nigerians, and I can happily say that I’m the envy of many presidents in the world. I’m exceedingly honoured to be the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, at this time. I’m gratified to have the honour of leading a country whose private sector willingly galvanises itself to raise funds to enthusiastically support the government in resolving social ills.”

“I’m proud to say that there is nowhere in the entire world, except in Nigeria, where the private sector has voluntarily come together to assist government efforts.”
“These 350 vehicles and thousands of vests and helmets you are handing over today will go a long way in boosting the capacity of our forces,” he said.
Nigerians would be voting in the coming hours to choose a new president and representatives to the Senate and House of Representatives.
